My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Thanks for providing the locale; I had L. bicolor highest on the list. It is commonly sighted in the SE, including Georgia.


    I discounted the thread-waisted wasps such as P. fervens because I cannot see the thread waist in you images. P. fervens is well to the west of you and is described as very large for a wasp.
